in the near positions in cotton seed oil to

heavy tenders, although some operators
predicted that they will be small. How

holdings to the later months and these
operators absorbed the interest of the

IN COTTON PRICE
After Sharp Decline the Market
Gains Strength on Short
Covering.
NEW YORK, Aug 28.—Cotton opened
barely steady today at a decline of from
1 5 to 9 points, being affected by weak
1 cables and a generally favorable weather
; report. After the call further recessions
i took place. The demand was limited to
covering by the spot Interests. This gave
I the market a steady tone and a reaction
of a few points prevailed. The selling
was of a general character, while ring
sentiments continue bearish.
Heavy realizing by McFadden and spot
interest during the late forenoon trading
caused the market to develop a sagging
tendency in prices which receded back to
the early range. Pell interests and ring
speculators were at times reported to be
good buyers, hut their demand failed to
absorb the heavy offerings and prices
during the afternoon session was played
around the opening quotations.
The market seemed to be stagnant, and
, the prevailing opinion is that trailers are
endeavoring to work prices to an even
keel to meet the holidays, Saturday and
' Monday next. Following the adjournment
I of the holidays the government will issue
I its condition report as of August 25. which
I many anticipations are to the effect that
I this report will show a slight improve
| ment over the previous month report in
| stead of displaying its usual deterioration
| during the most critical period of the cot
, ton growing season.
i Renewed buying by spot interests in
i the last hour of trading checked the
'downward Movement and prices quickly
regained the decline for the day and at
the close the market was very steady
with very little changes in prices from
last night's close, the list showing irreg
ularity ranging from unchanged to 1 to 2
points up on near months and 2 points
lower on distant positions.

HAYWARD <S. CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEU ORLEANS, Aug. 28. Early ad
vices from Texas yesterday of accumula
tion spot pressure were confirmed bv spot
quotations in the late afternoon, show
ing prices in the interior as much as '.4
down and well below 11 cents. This was
probably the cause of the very disap
pointing Liverpool cables this morning,
where, instead of the expected reaction,
futures showed a loss of 3 points. Weath
er developments over night were favor
able. It is feared if rains continue that
insect damage reports would have re
sulted. The map this morning show's
fair over the. entire belt, normal tempera
lures, rain only in a few coast districts.
Our market opened lower, but the dis
| position to cover prevailed, owing prnb
| ably to the near approach of the holi
-1 days.
New York and this market will be
j closed Saturday and Monday, and the bu
reau report will be published Tuesday,
which leaves only two davs more to ar
range interests. As stated yesterday, sell
ing is much more cautious now than it
was at this time last year. The lesson
of this spring has not been forgotten
The market recovered to 11.03 for De
cember, but on the rally there was too
much hedge, selling and the gain was
lost.

The Journal of Commerce reports the
following on conditions of the growing
cotton crop nf Texas. Oklahoma and Mis
souri:
Texas—Drouth has been the chief cause
of deterioration, and worms have in
jured cotton to some extent. Compared
with a year ago at this time, however,
prospects are said to be considerably
better and quite a few correspondents
look for the largest crop in years. The
weed averages a fair size and is gen
erally fruited, and shedding is compara
tively light lacking is general and in
many sections bolls are opening rapidly.
is plentiful. Many localities need
good rains to insure a top crop.
Oklahoma— Conditions in Oklahoma are
exceedingly promising and show an im
provement over a month ago. when the
percentage condition was 7H.3. Many cor
respondents report the best prospects in
years, but the season is generally three
weeks late and an early frost would do
much damage. The plant is medium
size, well fruited—in many cases heavily
fruited and strong Insect damage is very
slight, boil worms appearing in some sec
tions. Cultivaion is good and picking
will be general by September 10. Rain
fall has been plentiful, though some sec
tions are beginning to need moisture
Missouri—Cotton is doing well with
prospects for a good crop.
The cotton market received some sup
port from McFadden & Pell, brokers, to
day, but ring sentiment is very bearish.
McFadden, Gwathmey, Cone and Schill
were best buyers after the call. Munds,
Hartcorn and Martin were good sellers.
McFedden and some of tht other spot
people are buyers.
Dallas wires: "Texas generally clear
and warm. Oklahoma generally fair and
warrti."
Cotton freight rates from New York to
Liverpool have been raised to 40 cents a
hundred pounds.
Some spot houses say that Texas has
about 300,000 bales of old cotton stored
away, to work a score on planters and
buy new cotton cheaper.
McFadden. Gwathmey and Weld con
tinued to sell through the day. depressing
the market. Pell brokers and ring spec
ulators were buyers, but market has no
snap. Some of the bear forces predict
10 cents.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug.x2B.-~ Hay ward &
Clark: The weather map very favorable,
after Monday's general rains the map
shows fair entire belt; normal tempera
tures; only few showers on coast. Indi
cations ar»‘ for stationary conditions, ex
eept protiably increasing cloudiness; some
showers in north Oklahoma and north
Arkansas; rainfall only Savannah 1.00,
New Orleans .50.
Houston says but for scarcity ocean
freight room receipts would be larger.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: While the remnant of the old bull
guard is inclined to believe the bears are
pushing their success too far. spot mar
ket development proved a help rather
than a hindrance to the price depressor
yesterday, though actual cotton still holds
above a parity with contracts except at
Mobile, which quotes middling at 10" r.
As yet Savannah has not become a heavy
seller of spots for the simple reason Sa
vannah receipts' of new cotton thus far
amount to only 454 bales as contrasted
with 24.546 last year. In Texas the sit
uation is complicated by scarcity of ocean
freight room out of Galveston The ex
port demand is enormous in fact, it is
limited only by the shipping facilities as
it is asserted that fully half a dozen
additional ships could be filled for Sep
tember sailing out of Galveston. But the
ships are not available and Toxas ex
porters have begun to regret they op
posed complete railroad rate parities be
tween Now Orleans and Galveston from
all of Texas, and are now seeking a re
adjustment that will enable them at will
to use New Orleans as w r ell as Galves
ton (’’lose analysis clearly show's little
or no thought now’ among short sellers
of possibilities of a larger requirement
and a moderate supply. The marketing
season has opened up as though the re
